Thursday, Oct. 26: As James Huffman of Yuba was operating a heavy truck (cab chassis) westbound on Highway 33 in the town of Hillsboro, he came to a stop at the beginning of a construction zone and proceeded to back up to create more space for the construction trucks. Huffman did not see Hillsboro resident Erin Voltz’s vehicle behind him and backed into it. No injuries were reported at the time of the crash.
Thursday, Oct. 26: Brendan Schieffer of La Crosse was traveling west on Highway 56 in the town of Genoa, ran off the right shoulder of the road, overcorrected, and returned to the roadway. Then Schieffer crossed the center line, hit the left-side shoulder, and overcorrected again. Schieffer re-entered the roadway, crossed the centerline, traveled over a steep embankment, went through a fence, and came to a rest on its wheels in a pasture, where it became stuck in the mud. Schieffer reported no apparent injuries.
